The U.S. Post Office at Fox Plaza in Civic Center is not closing — despite a confusing letter recently sent to customers with P.O. boxes at that location.

After years of issues with insufficient cans and trash-pickers, the Tenderloin is hoping for a permanent solution to its street trash issue.

While other city-run safe sleeping sites have security, food and water, the Tenderloin's is filthy, overcrowded and unguarded.

The city plans to move about 70% of tent dwellers to a hotel room or "safe sleeping site" — and those who refuse will be at the mercy of police.

On May 6, the city released an eight-point plan to turn around the Tenderloin. We investigated its progress — and found almost none.

Robbery suspects attacked victims with hammers, power tools, and in one case, a padlock.

Over 150 students and alumni are pushing back on UC Hastings' Tenderloin lawsuit, arguing it prioritizes clearing streets over sheltering homeless people.

The Tenderloin's last gay bar will close on August 1, unless a fundraiser brings in enough to keep it going.

As "Slow Streets" have proliferated around the rest of the city, SF's densest neighborhood has seen no traction on promised street closures.

The previously empty parking lot, which the city is paying a private security company $6,000 a week to monitor, will now accommodate up to ten tents without sanitation services.

“This is the worst we’ve ever seen it," says Thao Pham, who has operated the popular Tenderloin Vietnamese restaurant for 20 years.

Even before the pandemic, a proposal called for the lot to temporarily house homeless people — but the city is paying to keep it empty.

“It’s harmful emotionally to the artists," said Veterans Alley founder Amos Gregory. "This helped them heal, and now it’s causing new pain.”
